The indefatigable Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds, links to a collection of pictures of protesters calling for the death of George W. Bush. Question: Can anyone find a front page story in the Washington Post or New York Times decrying documenting and decrying such vile political discourse? Threats of violence are newsworthy to the news reporters of the Post and Times, it seems, only when they’re directed against Democrats.

Of course, our critics will tell us it just wasn’t this bad under W, sure a few people called him a “war criminal” (because that’s what he was), but the vitriol was far greater than it is today and the hate rhetoric far more widespread. It’s just that the MSM didn’t cover it as they do today.

Why is it nobody can prove half of this supposed anti-liberal violence, but Ann Coulter is physically intimidated to the point of cancelling speeches by government entities in Canada, and nobody seems to notice…???

MSM was part and parcel of attacking Bush.
Anyway, you are trying to compare oranges to apples. Bush was evil, he deserved everything he got. Obama and the Dem congress are saintly and only doing what’s best for them. One doesn’t have a right to even criticize such saintly people, let alone attack them.

I am probably more liberal than most readers of this blog, but I must confess that I was not happy to read that Coulter was forced to cancel her appearance in Canada. Don’t get me wrong, I am no fan of the woman; however, that’s not the point. Drowning out an argument is not the same thing as winning it, and you cannot simultaneously have free speech and not be irritated by free speakers.

I have always thought that the left wing is bare-butt naked when it pulls stunts like this, and oblivious to its hypocrisy. If you want the freedom to walk into an elderly congregation at a Catholic cathedral and kiss your gay boyfriend or lesbian lover without being hauled out of there by the cops, then you have to allow Ann Coulter to… be Ann Coulter (as distasteful as that experience is).

I’ve never been to DC (Gracias a Dios), but it’s my understanding that there’s a subway from the Capitol to the Senate and House office buildings. Why would the libs, knowing there were alleged racist, sexist, bigot homophobe terrorists outside the Capitol building decide to walk right through them? Why would they suddenly be interested in being within 50 yards of the Proles?
